Description

QuickTick is a full-featured online help-desk and ticket support system. It is powered by PHP and MySQL with a touch of jQuery to provide for a seamless and perfect experience.

Requirements and Features

QuickTick runs on PHP 5+ and MySQL 4+. Tested on ThePlanet, SiteGround and BlueHost and all work fine without a hitch. Any host with Fantastico DeLuxe should work fine. QuickTick features everything you’d expect from an enterprise helpdesk, like:

Version 2.2

* Removed trim() and replaced with mysql_real_escape_string() in a number of files
* Fixed upload problem with filename containing spaces and special characters
* Users can only modify those types less than theirs (Managers cannot modify Administrators, Users cannot modify Managers, etc.)
* If emails disabled, notifications for new tickets will not be sent either

Other Notes

All Ajax features degrade nicely on the public-facing side. So even if your clients/users are living in the stone-age and don’t have JavaScript enabled, they can still easily update or delete a ticket. Also, if a client calls you, you can quickly create a ticket on their behalf from within the ‘Create a Ticket’ link.

This is Version 2.0. I have checked and double checked in all browers with and without JavaScript enabled and everything seems to work perfectly. However, if you find any bugs or formatting issues, don’t hesitate to send me a message. As my previous buyers can vouch, I release fixes within hours of being informed.
